Hi Everyone,

I'm visiting Taipei, leaving in five days. Ran into what looks like a pretty good deal at an LBS here. Its a Kuota Kharma with Ultegra Di2. I was quoted 90,000 NT ($3,000 USD). Weighed it at the store, it's 16.8 lbs.

I can't tell if it's a 2012 or 2013. I didn't see "Evo" on the bike. Still, is 3k for this bike a good deal that I should jump on? Plus, I have to ship it to California, so I have to factor that cost in as well. The wheels on this bike say Vision Team30, aluminum clinchers.

Currently I'm riding a carbon 2011 Giant Defy Advanced with 105, about 18 lbs with pedals and cages.

What do you guys think?

I should also mention that I have my eye on a 2012 Cervelo S5 Team at an LBS at home in California that is currently on closeout for 3k as well, Ultegra 6700 and aluminum hoops.

Oh, and if it matters, I'm 68" and 140 lbs.

TIA!

    The 2013 model says evo, the 2012 model says race on it
